She Won’t Be A Little Girl For Very Long

Verse:
The first time that I saw her, a window stood between us,
She couldn’t see me smiling but I was smiling anyway.
Emotions running deep inside, I brushed a teardrop from my eye
A proud granddad beside me took the liberty to say:

Chorus:
She won’t be a little girl for very long!
You’d better take some time with her at home.
All the money you make could never replace the time with her alone,
She won’t be a little girl for very long!

Verse 2:
Holding to my finger, we met her first grade teacher
We saw her first recital… I was proud to be her dad.
Going crazy through her teens, new hairdos, designer jeans,
Make-up, perfume, earrings, she’ll be growing up so fast.

Bridge:
And someday soon she’ll leave me for another man.
My heart will tear about to let go of her hand!
And then a new reality, standing in the nursery
Holding her first baby, I’ll take the liberty to say:

Chorus:
She won’t be a little girl for very long!
You’d better take some time with her at home.
All the money you make could never replace the time with her alone,
She won’t be a little girl for very long!
